135 Chapter 135 – Yi Fan Is Getting Married

Huangtian Restaurant.

"Young Master, you're finally back." As soon as Qi Shaorong entered the room, he was embraced by Bi Liuyun.

"Liuyun, why are you getting so emotional? What happened to your noble and stoic appearance, this isn't like you at all!" Fortunately, the Fourth Prince had gone outside to greet some people, and he wasn't back yet. There weren't any other outsiders in the room either.

"Young Master, I… missed you so much." Bi Liuyun cuddled Qi Shaorong affectionately.

"I didn't know you missed me this much." Qi Shaorong said, feeling moved.

"Yes! I was so worried this whole time. If something had happened to you, Young Master, then all the responsibilities of running Allure Cosmetics would fall onto my shoulders. I don't want to die from overworking at such a young age! I spent so many sleepless nights thinking about these things." Bi Liuyun said aggrievedly.

Qi Shaorong: "…" So, Liuyun, this guy, was he only worried about him because he was worried about being overworked to death?

Qi Shaorong sighed and said, "Liuyun, don't worry, you'll definitely be able to live to a ripe old age."

"I know, but if you had come back any later, then I could've started aging prematurely due to all the stress of overworking. That's a fate even worse than death." Bi Liuyun complained.

Qi Shaorong: "…"

Zhuang Hao pulled Bi Liuyun away with some dissatisfaction, "It's fine to feel emotional right now, but there's no need to hug like this."

Bi Liuyun smiled at Zhuang Hao and said, "Young Master Zhuang, you're here too!"

Zhuang Hao, "Yes!"

"Liuyun, you seem to be in a good mood!" Yi Fan said bitterly.

Bi Liuyun tilted his head, smiled, and said, "Yep! Young Master is back and I can finally slack off again, so I'm in a very good mood."

Yi Fan: "…"

Bi Liuyun looked at Yi Fan and said "You don't seem to be too happy!"

"Tingxuan is still… in Li Country."

"He'll be back soon." Bi Liuyun said.

Yi Fan's eyes widened and he said, "How could that be?"

Bi Liuyun smiled and said, "What do you mean? The matter in Li Country has already been dealt with, so naturally he's coming back."

"But I never received any news about that?" Yi Fan frowned.

"You were stuck in the wilderness before, and Tingxuan couldn't contact you, so he contacted me first." Bi Liuyun said.

A look of excitement appeared on Yi Fan's face, "Really? He's coming back."

Bi Liuyun looked at Yi Fan and thought: Yi Fan's really easy to please! He's so happy just because Mu Tingxuan was coming back, "I'm afraid you're going to be really busy in the upcoming weeks."

Yi Fan looked at Bi Liuyun and asked puzzledly, "Busy with what?"

"Getting married!" Bi Liuyun said, as if it were a matter of fact.

Zhuang Hao immediately looked at Bi Liuyun and said, "Getting married?"

Bi Liuyun nodded and said, "Yeah! There haven't been any happy events happening recently. If A-Fan and Tingxuan get married, things will get a lot more lively around here!"

Zhuang Hao Looking at Yi Fan, feeling a little jealous in his heart. Yi Fan was getting married?

"Yi Fan and Mu Tingxuan aren't even engaged yet, they're just going to skip that part and go directly to marriage?" Zhuang Hao asked.

Bi Liuyun smiled and said, "There's no need to go through all that trouble just to get married."

Yi Fan grabbed Bi Liuyun's hand and said, "Did Tingxuan say something to you? What did he say?"

Bi Liuyun said, "In the letter he sent me, Tingxuan asked if he should get married."

Yi Fan said with joy, "Really? I didn't expect…"

Zhuang Hao looked at Yi Fan's delighted appearance, and unhappily poured cold water on him, saying, "Is it really necessary to act so happy? It's not like this is your first time getting married."

Yi Fan immediately glowered at him and said, "My marriage is none of your concern, because I'm not inviting you."

Zhuang Hao: "…"

Tang Tianying opened the door to the room and walked in, saying, "I seem to have overheard you talking about marriage? Zhuang Hao, when are you and Young Master Qi getting married?"

Yi Fan sneered twice and said, "Him? It's still too early for him." Even their engagement was built on trickery, wanting to get married? Yeah, right!

"It's about A-Fan and Tingxuan, not Young Master Zhuang!" Bi Liuyun said.

Tang Tianying looked at Yi Fan and said, "Congratulations, Young Master Yi!"

Yi Fan smiled and said, "Thank you!"

"Young Master Yi, if you're really getting married, will you invite many people to your wedding?" Tang Tianying asked.

"No, Tingxuan doesn't like too much noise and excitement, and I don't either. If we get married, we'll only have a simple wedding." Yi Fan said.

Tang Tianying looked at Yi Fan and said, "Really? If that's the case, Young Master Yi, remember to invite me!"

"If Fourth Prince is willing to do us the honor of attending, then we would love to have you there." Yi Fan smiled.

Zhuang Hao looked at Yi Fan and said, "Is it really okay to decide to get married in such a hurry? Don't you want to think about it a little more?"

Yi Fan looked at Zhuang Hao, smiled, and said, "I've known Tingxuan for so many years already, we couldn't be more familiar with each other. As for you, Young Master Zhuang, you're always harbouring such unfathomable motives. Our Young Master really needs to consider carefully whether he truly wants to marry you or not."

Zhuang Hao: "…"

Tang Tianying looked back and forth between Yi Fan and Zhuang Hao, who were looking daggers at each other. He smiled and said, "Everyone, let's be seated."

Zhuang Hao and others sat down around the table.

"A-Hao, I heard that you and Young Master Qi were hit by the God-Imprisoning Ring. Did the ring really seal off your magic abilities? A-Hao, during that period of time, you didn't run into any trouble, did you?" Tang Tianying asked with concern.

Zhuang Hao's hand that was holding his chopsticks shook a little, and he calmed himself down, and said, "I didn't encounter any major problems, it's all good."

"Really? It looks like you have pretty good luck, A-Hao."

Zhuang Hao forced a smile, nodded, and said, "Yep!"

"Young Master Yi, did you hear, while you were away, Yi Xun's family had two babies. You've gained another brother and sister now."

Yi Fan said nonchalantly, "I don't consider Yi Xun as my father, so they're not my family either."

Yi Fan lowered his head and thought to himself: Yi Xun, that guy, sure was cold. Now that Yi Huo and Yi Bing were wastes, he didn't care about them anymore.

Word on the street was that Yi Bing recently became addicted to gambling, and owed a huge debt to the gambling shop. One of his legs even got broken because of this. In the past, Yi Bing was always such an arrogant and overbearing person! Who'd have thought that he'd end up in this state in the present.

"Yi Fan, I heard that Mu Tingxuan was born in Li Country, and he has a very powerful father." Tang Tianying said.

Yi Fan nodded and said, "Yes!"

"If you marry Mu Tingxuan, you'll gain a powerful father-in-law. Although Young master Yi is very strong, your father-in-law seems to be even stronger than you." Tang Tianying said.

Tang Tianying looked at Qi Shaorong, feeling uncertain in his heart. Level nine masters already weren't too common in Yuan Country. Qi Shaorong himself was highly skilled and surrounded by other people with talents, and he was also engaged to Zhuang Hao. If another level nine master were to join his side, then the overall strength of his cohort would be quite frightening.

Qi Shaorong smiled and said, "This… We're not too sure about this yet. Tingxuan's relationship with his father isn't very good. It's hard to say whether Mu Tingxuan's willing to acknowledge him as his father yet. If not, then Yi Fan doesn't have to worry too much about this."

Tang Tianying: "…" So Qi Shaorong, this guy, didn't have a good relationship with the Qi Family, Yi Fan and the Yi Family also weren't on good terms, and even the Mu Family was pretty much ruined because of Mu Tingxuan…

"By the way, Fourth Prince, how has the Emperor been lately?" Qi Shaorong asked.

Tang Tianying smiled tacitly at Qi Shaorong and said, "He's doing well. He was a little angry before, but everything's fine now."

Qi Shaorong, "As long as the Emperor doesn't dwell on the past too much, I can be at ease."

Tang Tianying: "…"

Qi Shaorong and Zhuang Hao's return caused quite a commotion in the Imperial City.

Qi Family.

"Second Brother, Qi Shaorong and Zhuang Hao have returned safely." Qi Shaofu said.

"That's as expected. With Zhuang Hao's abilities, it's not surprising that they can turn any misfortune into a blessing." Qi Shaokang said.

Qi Shaofu sighed. Qi Shaorong was really too strong, he's even established a relationship with the Business Alliance.

Although the Emperor was slightly dissatisfied with Fourth Brother, he still has to give him some face. If the relationship between Fourth Brother and the family wasn't so bad, this would be the perfect opportunity for the Qi Family to join the Business Alliance, but it's a pity… They couldn't gain any benefits from this now.

Recently, several of the family elders seemed to have intentions of re-establishing a relationship with Fourth Brother, but…

"Fourth Brother seems to attach great importance to his subordinates."

Qi Shaofu nodded and said, "Yes!" Qi Shaorong didn't care about his family at all, but he was willing to defy all difficulties and dangers to help those people by his side.

Qi Shaorong's courtyard.

"Young Master." Mu Tingxuan slightly bowed to Qi Shaorong.

"You're back a little earlier than expected." Qi Shaorong said.

"Young Master went through so much trouble for my sake. If it weren't for me, Young Master wouldn't have suffered so much during that month." Mu Tingxuan said solemnly.

Qi Shaorong was leaning lazily on a rocking chair and said, "Actually, it wasn't that bad, it was really quite an interesting experience. Tingxuan, you shouldn't blame yourself for everything all the time. Even if you weren't there, I still would've treated Feng Yuan's illness, and the same events still would've occurred."

Mu Tingxuan clenched his fists and said, "In any case, Young Master—Thank you!"

Qi Shaorong tilted his head, looked at Mu Tingxuan, and said, "You don't need to act so formal with me. By the way, Tingxuan, have you really decided to marry Yi Fan?"

Mu Tingxuan nodded and said, "Yes! I don't think I'll ever be able to find someone who'll like me as much as he likes me in this lifetime, and I, I don't dislike him."

Qi Shaorong sighed and thought to himself: Mu Tingxuan had always been somewhat of an enigma to him. Now, he's realized that though Mu Tingxuan was a quiet and closed-off person, he's always very swift and resolute when doing things. In contrast, Yi Fan's the one who's always muddling around without truly taking action. Mu Tingxuan was the one who suggested sleeping together, and he's also the one who brought up the topic of marriage.

"I came today… to ask Young Master to do me a favor."

Qi Shaorong looked at Mu Tingxuan, thought about it, and said, "Do you want to restore your original appearance?"

Mu Tingxuan nodded and said, "Yes."

"That's great. Although I don't think Yi Fan cares about how you look, it's not bad to go back to how you looked before."

Mu Tingxuan pursed his lips, raised his head, and said, "He's done so much for me. I don't want people saying that after he was dumped by a beauty, he married an ugly monster out of desperation."

Qi Shaorong smiled and said, "Don't worry, Tingxuan, you have a good foundation. After your appearance is restored, you'll definitely be an incomparable beauty." Yi Fan has really gotten lucky this time.

Mu Tingxuan smiled and said, "Young Master flatters me."
